"It seems that even though you are living in exile, you still know a lot about the history of the Uzumaki clan," Mito smiled. It was impossible for Kushina to see her name in the textbooks of the ninja school. The only remaining way was from the other members of the Uzumaki clan she had met. The shock on Kushina's face never faded away, because seeing Mito was like seeing a legend in the Uzumaki clan, because her strength was not only due to her being the wife of the First Hokage.
It is said that before she married the First Hokage, she was the most powerful female ninja in the Uzumaki clan, with extraordinary strength. She thought that Mito-sama had passed away a long time ago. Just now, she asked her how many years she had been in Konoha. This Konoha Ninja Village was established by her and the First Hokage!
"Well, Aunt Yuki taught me all of this," Kushina replied, her expression slightly gloomy. Mito heard this and did not continue the topic. When Kushina was brought back to Konoha, she was said to be holding a wooden spirit tablet tightly, and the name engraved on the spirit tablet was Uzumaki Yuki. The country of whirlpools was destroyed, and the members of the Uzumaki clan were scattered all over the world. Most of them had the abilities of the Uzumaki clan, but they did not know how to use them, so they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Just like Kushina, if she had not been brought to Konoha, even if she had an innate super physique, she would only be stronger than children of her age, and it would be impossible for her to have the strength to defeat Genin at this age.
This is the significance of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama establishing the ninja school. Even if a child is from a civilian background, as long as they have the potential to become a ninja, they can learn relevant knowledge and then become a ninja. No need to be like a child in the Warring States period.
"In fact, I have been paying attention to you since the first day you entered Konoha," Mito said.
After hearing this, Kushina still had a question in her mind that she couldn't let go of. She immediately said, "Mito-sama, why?"
She didn't even know how to express her doubts well, but Kushina believed that Mito would understand. Then, Mito was silent for a while and said, "We, the Uzumaki clan, are born with chakra that is different from ordinary people. Do you know this?"
"I don't know, but I can probably understand it." Although she knew the history of the Uzumaki clan very well, for some reason, Kushina knew nothing about other very basic aspects of the Uzumaki clan. Although she didn't know, Kushina was not a fool. Not long after she entered school, she could refine more chakra than Minato, Mikoto, and others. Naturally, she would not think that she had stronger ninja talents than them. Compared with them, her advantage was extraordinary physical strength and recovery ability. Chakra is a combination of physical and mental energy. Being different from ordinary people in this aspect also determined that Kushina's chakra was different from ordinary people.
"Just because of this extraordinary chakra?" Kushina muttered to herself. She didn't think this explanation was convincing enough.
"Of course it's not just that," Mito said, and her kind eyes gradually became serious. She said, "But I just said that there are some things I can't tell you yet, but it won't be long before you know the answer. Don't rush it." Although Kushina had doubts in her heart, she trusted Mito and didn't ask any more questions. After Mito finished speaking, her eyes softened again. She put her hands on the back of Kushina's hands and said, "Next, I will give you the reward for passing the Ninjutsu Trial."
Although Kushina didn't care about the so-called reward, her eyes still lit up due to her curiosity at this age.
"Do you know that the Uzumaki clan has other special skills besides the innate extraordinary chakra?" Mito said. Kushina shook her head. She only knew her origin and some history of the clan from Aunt Yuki. She didn't know anything else, such as the fact that the Uzumaki clan was born with chakra that was different from ordinary people. Mito smiled faintly. It seemed that the Uzumaki clan member did not tell Kushina about other information related to the core of the clan. She probably thought that Kushina did not have the power to protect this information.
At this point, Mito took her palms off Kushina's hands and then began to make seals with both hands. It was just a few simple seals, but Kushina could not understand them at all. Then, Mito gently placed her palms on Kushina's left chest.
"Plop!" At this moment, Kushina only felt her heart suddenly jump, and then her body returned to normal.
"No!" Just when Kushina was confused, she suddenly felt that her body's strength was rapidly decreasing. Rather than saying that her body's strength was decreasing, it was better to say that the chakra she had practiced for a year was locked somewhere in her body. No matter how she communicated, it was like a pool of stagnant water, without the familiar waves. Immediately, she looked at Mito. All this happened when she put her hand on her heart just now. Could it be that she wanted to harm her? Then she looked down and saw the hand that Mito had imprinted on her left chest, with dense black lines extending out. It seemed familiar. Wasn't this the calligraphy that she had repeatedly studied every day?
Kushina's reaction was within Mito's expectations. She released her hand from Kushina's chest, and the black lines immediately disappeared. The dormant chakra in Kushina's body also returned to normal at this time.
"What kind of jutsu is this? It's so powerful!" Kushina was stunned, and then she exclaimed belatedly. This kind of jutsu that can seal other people's chakra, if used in battle, can play an absolutely amazing role. No matter how powerful a ninja is, if they lose the right to control chakra, it is like a tiger losing its fangs, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably decrease sharply.
In response to Kushina's surprise, Mito smiled: "This is the unique skill of our Uzumaki clan, the Fuinjutsu."
"Fuinjutsu?" This title was the first time Kushina had heard of it. Before, she only knew the so-called ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
"Fuinjutsu is also a kind of jutsu. As the name suggests, it is a jutsu that can form a sealing effect. The effect is just like what happened just now. I temporarily sealed your chakra. Even if you are not good at theoretical knowledge, you can probably understand the meaning of it, right?" Mito knew that Kushina was not good at studying, so before teaching her, she wanted her to have a general understanding of Fuinjutsu. No matter what kind of understanding, it is not as effective as personal experience. Kushina nodded, and could understand Mito's good intentions.
"Why didn't Aunt Yuki tell me before," Kushina murmured.
"She didn't tell you, maybe because she didn't know, but according to my estimation, it is more likely that she wanted to protect your safety and the clan's secrets," Mito said, her expression becoming formal.
"What do you mean?" Just when Kushina was puzzled, Mito's words made her eyes tighten.
"Because the Whirlpool Country and the Uzumaki Clan perished because of this."
